Nothing wrong with the means whatsoever, and no laws were broken. Parody is an accepted vehicle for humour in our society. If Business Wire had had the presence of mind to react as did wired.com, they would have sustained no damage to their reputation, and might even have learned something. I think they're going to learn something anyway.

Rock nj, Janice and company broke the law Specifically, what law or laws were broken? Breaking a law is a criminal offense. This is a civil suit. There's a huge difference. So again I ask, what law or laws have been broken? KJC EDIT: Sorry. I see that you have already responded in a subsequent post.

The Court of Public Opinion or The taste in your mouth. Standing up in crowded room and voicing your opinion always takes courage. It is usually respected. I see from this interchange that you have some self correcting mechanisms, that is good. I still wish you would consider changing your moniker <g> techstocks.com As you can see, there is a uniformity to the response which is indicative of considerable weight. Each poster in essence makes exactly the same point, reiterating and repeating and constituting the VOICE. Maybe instead of rock, you could try paper or scissors. Interesting times.
